How do you know if you are a prophet?

The Edge, August 16, 2008

Many people are at a loss to know if they are a prophet.

However, there are some simple tests to know if you have made it to prophet status or are a plain old dreamer.

Recognising Disconcerting Visions or Dreams (DVDs) is one way to spot your propheteering attributes. Basically, a real DVD should make no sense at all but burn itself into your memory.

For example, a regular dream might involve seeing yourself meeting Mickey Mouse, while a DVD would involve seeing yourself meeting Mickey Mouse, who has a head of gold that is covered in horns, and is ironing his clay shoes while singing a Rolling Stones song.

Other signs that you’re a certified prophet include these common symptoms:

When you are writing, a voice in your head points out most spelling, grammatical and factual errors.

Everyone you curse out loud gets attacked by bears.

The song Chariots of Fire runs through your head when you see a plane fly over.

Senior people continually quote you out of context in aid of rebuking young people.

You know lottery numbers in advance but your stance against gambling means you never buy a ticket.

Almost everyone doesn’t appreciate your advice, which is always confronting but right.
